I've just figured out the word I couldn't think of-- warranty. This became a very easy answer then: https://support.google.com/fi/answer/6209387?hl=en

Thanks all for the input! I ordered my Google Fi phone roughy a week ago through fi.google.com (I'm pretty sure) and it will be here about the end of October. Then a few days later I was hurrying like mad to change clothes after class since I needed to catch the next bus to the gym. And I put...

Yes I have an admittedly very rare set of circumstances. Not-driving is saving me upwards of $1.5K-$3K a year in gasoline, plus maintenance costs though. What's odd is that I don't drive because of a lack of finances. On 5/26/07, a drunk driver hit me when I was a pedestrian (that's the...

HUH. Strike 1 against Fi. I think I'll hold off on being an early adopter and just see how it all shakes out... Thanks!

I mean like if the physical device has issues that cannot be solved on a message board. Since this will replace my one and only phone, I need quick turnaround time for maintenance repairs if/when things go wrong. That's why I was excited about Verizon selling one of the cheaper phones since I...

Oh, duh. It never occurred to me to look on Google+ since I think of that only as a social networking site. Thanks for the pointer!

Hi all! Where I would go for hardware assistance when using Google Fi? I no longer drive and I live 1 block from a Verizon store, so that would be sweet if that works out. Verizon 's also selling the Motorola Nexus 6 for a super-sweet deal (in comparison), so yay... if I can use that cheap...

Re: turning on "New episode available" notifications... Well huh, I did get a notification from the Google Play Movies & TV app this week. Oh, I see now. The app shows me when each episode of Big Bang Theory aired, which was Monday, Monday, Monday, Monday, Monday, Thursday, Thursday. Aha, I...

turning on "New episode available" notifications... So for the first few years that I had a Chromecast, on a certain day of the week I would get a notification on my phone saying "New episode of Big Bang Theory [or whatever] is available for download." Oh, great, thanks for the head's-up...

Brian Lucas, Thank you... it finally dawned in what "side-loaded" means! It means Chromecast can't play LOCAL content. I wonder why they ditched common terminology. In order to play on a Chromecast, the content must come from some stream. That makes sense. Except for casting Chrome tabs...

So I have my Chromecast hooked to my TV, and I'm loving that. I just recently found Google Music and I absolutely am in LOVE with it! I can listen on my Android phone, my laptop, or my TV. But what I'd really like is for the music to be played through speakers that are made for that sort of...

Okay, I'm getting the hang of it now. The fastest way I've found to upload music is not through the web interface, but just copying the music files to the folder Music Manager is watching. (since I have "automatically upload" checked) Rockin' and rolling through my collection now! And I have...

Yep I found it's two times through the web interface. Thanks!

Yes you are correct. I can live with that. Thanks! :)

Aha, wait, I found it! Clicking the three-stacked-dots menu next to a track then on Download leads to a popup with this: "Are you sure you want to download the selected song to your computer? Each song can be downloaded 2 times on the web. This limit does not apply when you use the Music...
